A Miss Shot On the stage.
The Ameer I'm Danger.
ALARM IN ENGLAND OVER THE CRITICAL SITUATION IN
AFGHANISTAN.


The British press has become alarmed at the
frequency an similarity OF purport character1Zing
the recent dispatches from India relating to the
position Of the ameer OF Afghanistan and unite In
urging upon the government the necessity OF TAX
ing steps to accomplish his immediate relief. His
situation would be critical, 1t is argued, even TO
man OF blood and 1ron which the ameer is not,
but the ameer is OF only secondary Importance In
consideration OF the question from purely Eng
lish point OF view. The ameer must govern Az
ghanistan absolutely or England must do IL. For
England to do SO would be tantamount TO a decla-
ration OF war against Russia, but England can
protect the ameer against revolution OF his sub
Jects without seeming to menace Russia, and this
She must do and that quickly, or ind herself con-
fronted with the alternative.
The center OF the revolt against the ameer, as
indicated by late dispatches is at Allaghar where
the Ghflza1S are maSSed In strong force and faced
by an equally strong force OF the ameer's troops
and at the time the last Information from that
place was received by the Indian government a
decisive battle was hourly expected, and has prob
ably ere this been fought. Should the ameer's
troops have been put to night, there is no other
force between Cabul and Allaghar capable OF
checking the march Of the insurgents to the gates
OF the ameer's palace, and there is no means OF
knowing that the insurgents are not now within
gunShOI OF the capitol.

Pittsburg for sixth place and have lost no more
games than Chicago or Philadelphia.
Radbourne struck out men four times yesterday,
but three OF the times Gilmore was the man, and
they ought not to count. This young man can
pitch, but he can't hit. II he would only stand
nearer the plate and hold his bat within reach OF
the ball he might occasionally hit 1t.
